Is it possible to use AX-12A Professional Robot servos with the EZ-Robot kit? I'm making a are out to test some ideas and the servos that came with my bot kit are not strong enough. I want to use AX-12A Servos form http://www.trossenrobotics.com/dynamixel-ax-12-robot-actuator.aspx
Is this Possible?
Personally given the complications most cases a nice digital servo will do the job for much less work. For cheap servos that are also strong I use 1501mg power hd 26 usd 240oz in torque or ezrobot store high torque servos 133 oz in torque 13 usd. Servos that come with the kit are not heavy duty but I assure you we have plenty of simple solutions to suggest over the complexity of the dynamixel serial drop setups.

just awesome.
Basically, you want something with high capacity and between 6v and 12v, or better yet a fixed power supply from an old appliance which can supply between 6v and 17v, I use an old DVD 12v power supply for bench testing which works great. Josh recently posted about using an ATX PSU which would be another good option for bench testing.
As for the servos, I have little idea on that front but I'm sure someone else will come along and chip in.

Certainly I like your idea of ??building robot arms with foam, maybe a thin aluminum coating would make it more resistant.
These servos should work for your prototypes.

They seem to make a servo for just about anything you could need.
@Rashad I like your DIY attitude. Good luck with the Audi purchase
For the dynamixel servos, that is possible with ezb easily. The ezb is a TTL controller. In fact, it's 20 TTL controllers
They can be used as regular servos or turn continuous for drive servos.
If the EZB could also read the servo position, that would be so cool!
So, yes you can do that and make it stronger.
Just make sure they are working together and never fight each other.
